News on the Foodbuzz Project Food Blogfront: My kid’s cookie decorating dinner party got me through to round 4! Though I’m not sure how many more rounds I’ll survive. The competition is pretty dang impressive. But another huge and hearty THANK YOU! to all who voted for me. The next challenge: use photography to create a step by step, instructional photo tutorial.

As my daughter has been obsessively watching Wizard of Oz of late, and as it seems appropriate for Halloween, I thought of the witch’s legs after Dorothy smushes the wicked witch with her house in Munchkinland (accidentally, of course). So I made tiny little bite-size cookie stackswithsparkly ruby slippers.Step-by-step instructional tutorials are, as many of you know, a crucial component of this blog. But, I usually rely on my little drawings. So, this is a bit of new territory. Buthere goes. A photo tutorial…

how to make witch leg cookies

step one: bake your cookies

Feel free to share (nicely)! While my blog's photographs and text are protected by copyright, I do allow (and encourage) you to share ONE photograph with credit to "the decorated cookie" and link to this blog post. PLEASE don't reprint any part of the blog post and PLEASE don't post a photo without credit. Thank you!

I really like your step by step directions with the photos. I think that is very helpful and one thing that the Internet can do better than a traditional cookbook. That many photos would make a book crazy expensive.

MEAGHAN! I AM TYPING THIS IN ALL CAPS SO YOU WILL KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN SQUEALING WITH DELIGHT FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES OVER THESE. I LOVE. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE. I HAVE TO REPOST ON MY BLOG AND CREDIT BACK TO YOU (OF COURSE). TOMORROW. YOU ARE MY COOKIE HEROINE.

This is absolutely adorable and so perfect for Halloween! Also, it's the kind of thing I'd NEVER attempt if it only featured one final photo. But since you explain it step-by-step, it makes it feel much more obtainable. Good luck!!

Genius – And "this is new territory"…you would never know – my goodness. This was so creative with every component of the challenge. I am voting because this is truly Picture PERFECT!- Butter(from Running On Butter)
